Sorry about missing yesterday's post. I didn't have a chance to make it near the computer. Nursing home in the morning; 15 month check-up for The Governor in the afternoon; soccer game in the evening. Put quite a few miles on the car.
On my way to the game last night, I noticed a banner hanging off the roof of a small bank in Delano. (Delano being one of the larger cities in Wright County.) The banner advertised "TELEPHONE BANKING!" Whooooppppeee! Banking done over the phone. No more hitching up the horse and buggy for the drive to the bank. This is going to stink, however, for all those poor folks who still have party lines.
Civilization makes its presence known in Wright County!
So...big news on the Hussein boys, huh? I didn't have a chance to get a newspaper today, or read anything on the Internet yet, so I don't know if I'm missing any good pictures. After everything I've read about Uday...I wouldn't mind seeing his bullet-riddled body. Me and a lot of other folks in Iraq.
Today was supposed to be a lazy shopping day for me. (A break from my usual pool-sitting, bon-bon consuming afternoons.) The VP called and informed me that the payroll computer went, I believe his word was "Kaplewy," and so I was pressed into service retrieving busted computer from one location and ferrying it to Best Buy for possible repair or hopefully data recovery. No word yet on the patient's condition. Bought a new computer (well, The VP did) and I got to shuttle it back to our controller's office where it awaits initiation. No time to hang out in Marshall Fields trying on shoes. Sigh. My life. One hardship after another.
The in-laws (Nana and Buppa) took both boys swimming at the lake, and should be home any minute. I have had one whole hour of silence and privacy here in my own house. Just goes to show you how much I love you guys. I'm here writing instead of searching for a new box of bon-bons and the latest romance novel.
More later tonight if we're out of chocolates.
